The Money PagesYou Have $5. The Goal Is $15. Now What?
See how small amounts can add up, even when you can’t save every week.
A notebook costs $15. You have $5. That's a start!
If you can save another $2, you'll have $7. You will still need $8, because $15 minus $7 is $8.
Try writing it down: $7 saved. Goal: $15.
A savings goal is something you are keeping money for. Writing it down can help you see how far you've come.
Some weeks, there may be no spare money. The goal can wait. You don't have to save as much or as fast as anyone else.
